HITLER'S BOOK
PUBLISHERS AT LAW
AMERICAN COPYRIGHT WASHING-TON, Oct. 21 Tho Supreme Court has refused to interfere with tho injunction granted by the Lower Court restraining Stackpole Sons from publishing Hitler's book "Mein Kampf." Stackpoles had contended that the Houghton Mifflin Company's American copyright was invalid, since tho German publishers described Hitler as being "Stateless" in 1925 when the application for copyright was made. Tho Lower Court ruled that an interpretation of the law would mean that the United States was "putting another obstacle in the way of the survival of homeless refugees, many of whom wero scholars and writers." Mr. Justice Frankfurter, tho only Jewish member of the Supreme Court, did not participate in tho Supreme Court decision.
